Pursuant to telephonic arrangements made previously with VALENTIN ZAITSEV, his new Soviet contact, NY 694-S*, at 7 pem. on 2/7/62, met ZAITSEV in the vicinity of. the Town House Restaurant in Queens, NYC, and proceeded with the latter, via subway and bus, to Hollis Blvd. and Grand Central Parkway. The informant and ZAITSEV entered a barroom in this drea (the informant could not determine the name or address of the bar- room) and ordered a meal.
ZAITSEV, according to the informant, is 4 more friendly individual than was the former contact BARKOVSKY, but speaks very poor English. The informant, before beginning a discussion with ZAITSEV, handed the latter a package of gum in which was concealed microfilm containing messages for the Soviets. The messages were as follows: (1) A message in cipher that a Soviet message reflecting
p44" that the Soviet offer to provide "bail money" incidental to per the parole of MORTON SOBELL and to provide funds for SOBELL's wife had been received; (2) memoranda in support of motions to set aside the judgment and sentence of MORTON SOBELL; -3-Bureau (100-428091) (RM) Rec 48 a pe “Y=Chicago (134-46-sub B) (INFO) (RM) 2 ὁ - Yu, 5.2 72: | 787 1-ΝΥ 134-91 INV.)

(3) a document written by GUS HALL, evaluating, for the confidential information of the Central Committee of the CPSU, the KENNEDY administration; (4) a message, intended for transmittal by the Soviets to the CP of Cuba, that GEORGE MEANY will visit the Dominican Republic, in behalf of CIA and the State Department, to organize bor elements against
Communist influences; (5) a message for the Cuban CP, to be transmitted via Moscow, | expelled OPUSA functionary, had been aLson the Cuban CP, and that the CPUSA desired the CP e aware of this fact, and to advise the CPUSA who contact in Cuba had been; (6) a statement received by CPUSA from the CP of China, condemning "the brutal anti-Communist actions of the US Government, and supporting the just struggle of the Communist Party of the United States"; 7} a letter to CP functionary LEMENT HARRIS from ANNA LOUISE STRONG, presently in Peking, China, containing comments relative to the Chinese~ Soviet dispute; (8) a request for information regarding. the health of HENRY WINSTON, CPUSA functionary now in ΣΡ Ως (9) 8 message reflecting that the CPUSA is collecting the files and records of deceased CP functionaries ROBERT MINOR and JAMES FORD, and that the CPUSA may request the CPSU to store such records for safekeeping.
| With the exception of the ANNA LOUISE STRONG letter, \yhieh the informant obtained from LEM HARRIS on 2/7/62, the Bureau has been previously advised regarding all other matters mentioned above. A copy of the STRONG letter will be furnished to the Bureau by separate communication. (Pursuant to instructions received from GUS HALL before the latter left for a trip to the West Coast, HARRIS delivered the STRONG letter to NY 604~s* for transmittal to the Soviets).
In addition to the above messages on microfiln, only one of which, as noted above, was ciphered, the informarn furnished the following verbal information to ZAITSEV: The informant advised ZAITSEV that according to CP attorney ISADORE NEEDLEMAN, who had visited Premier CHEDDI JAGAN in British Guiana, JAGAN requested that the CPUSA ask the
~~ ὃ κα
)
NY 100-134637
Soviets to give JAGAN $5,000 to set up a CP school for nabeeny eee (fhe Bureau has been advised regarding this matter).
* ZAITSEV after receiving the above messages, and promising to expedite them to Moscow, inquired whether the informant had ascertained how much "bail money" SOBELL would need, and how much money Mrs. SOBELL needs. NY 694-S* ex- plained that bail money is not required with respect to parole. He also told ZAITSEV that GUS HALL had said that he would contact Mrs. SOBELL in this regard, but as yet has not had an opportunity to do so.
from GUS HALL, HENRY WINSTON would remain as "a CPUSA cadre" in Moscow. WINSTON sent a request that GUS HALL take care of the financial requirements of WINSTON's family. The medical report from Moscow on WINSTON's condition was as follows: He has had 45 days of medical treatment, and,
as a result, is much stronger. His vision, which had been 0.01 and is now 0.03, is slightly improved. He can now distinguish light from dark, and he can see forms. The tumor in his head has not spread.
ZATTSEV then stated that per instructions received Ὶ
After another 45 day period of treatment, WINSTON Will travel throughout the USSR, for a period of a month. Returning from that trip, he will receive another h5 day period of treatment. If the results should be good, he thereafter will tour such countries as Poland, Romania, Hungary, Poland, etc.
With regard to VALENTINE GREGORY BURTAN, ZAITSEV said that the Soviets have no interest in him, that they would prefer that he not visit thé Soviet Union, and that by reason of "the troubled political times," they would not provide 1 him with “a floating visa." However, if HALL should insist,
they would permit BURTAN to visit the Soviet Union as a tourist.
~ 3 5
NY 100-134637
NY 694-S* told ZAITSEV that he could not deliver such a message to HALL, who would fly into a rage upon receipt of such a message. He explained to ZALTSEV BURTAN's previous operations in behalf of the Soviets and of the CPUSA, ZAITSEV said that in view of what NY 694-s* had said, he would recontact the Soviets in Moscow regarding the BURTAN matter. In the meantime he suggested that nothing he said to HALL about the message ZAITSEV had delivered to NY 694-S* regarding BURTAN,
ZAITSEV then inquired how the CPUSA intended to answer the Chinese cable criticizing the KENNEDY administra- tion. The informant replied that it was his understanding that the CPUSA would make a polite acknowledgement of the cable, but would not engage in an open dispute with the Chinese regarding the issues involved. He stated that it was HALL's opinion that the CPUSA should not be the first outside Party to begin an open dispute with the Chinese.
He told ZAITSEV that under no clroumstances would HALL characterize the KENNEDY administration as fascist. ZATTSEV seemed pleased to hear this.
NY 694-S* then asked ZAITSEV when the Soviets would
begin sending bim messages in secret ink in care of the ’ |S8.d. FELDMAN drop, (840 Columbus Ave., NYC). ZATTSEV merely
said, "one of these days they will." NY 694«s* then told ZAITSEV that as yet he had not received from the Soviets an address of a drop to which he can send secret ink messages. ZAITSEV promised to bring this matter to the attention of the Soviets in Moscow.
ee eal
OPE ZALTSEV told NY 694-S* that the Central Committee - ‘\| lof the CPSU is about to notify the CPUSA that a vigorous f campaign against the McCarran Act soon would be instituted {in the Soviet Union. In that connection, the Soviet Union is taking steps to have protests against the McCarran Act jfmade to Attorney General KENNEDY in every country in which be he will travel on his current tour,

NY 100-134637
The discussion was terminated at this point, and ZAITSEV and the informantleft the restaurant, going together by taxicab to 179th St. and Hillside Ave., where they 6eparted. There was no conversation in the taxicab, according to NY 694-S*,

Let to New York RE: SOaLoO 100-423091
UOTE ON YELLOW:
During the 9th Solo mission, NY 6946S attended in Moscow, Russia, for 8 days a "secret service school" where he took an intensified course in microfilming, invisible inks and codes and ciphers, The purpose of this trainine was to improve informant's operations with Vladinir Barkovsky, the Soviet UN official in New York City with whom NY 694-S and CG 5824-S were in contact. The Soviets subsequently furnished secret writing material and codes and ciphers. Barkovsky has since been replaced by Zaitsev and, according to New York Office, the hecessary processing of this material has been done by the New York Orfice ac informant does not feel it should be done at his home. New York has recommended office space on the ceath floor at 50 Broad Strect, where informant now has 2 legitimate cover office, be obtained for his clandestine work. This is obviously convenient for the informant but it does not appear to be a secure arrangement for ingormant to be going " from one office to another in the same building, especially
Since the Soviet contact is fully aware of the present
» iegitimate office. New York is being instructed to locate anothex office but not at 50 Broad Street and there is no objection in the meantime to informant using the space at 401 Broadway for clandestine work as long as he maintains security. The space at 401 Broadway was obtained by informant to store CP records and since informant felt he covld not ask the Party to pay the rent, the Bureau has authorized $52.50 per month for the space and it appears this space, at least temporarily, can also be used by inzormant for his clandestine work,

ReBulet 2/16/62.
With reference to the Bureau's inquiry as to the present location of the informant's office, please be advised that NYlet.of 8/18/61 was.erroneous to the extent that it should have stated that the informant moved from Suite 2043 to Suite 1725 rather than vice versa. At the 4 present time, the informants office is located in Suite_1725. ἢ’ Appropriate personnel have been charged with form dfPror.
Bureau requested to be advised if we had considered δος obtaining additional space in a nearby office building rather than the building where NY §94-S* has his cover office. |: Very serious consideration was given to this mater and it was a fully discussed with NY 694-S*. One of several reasons for “| the issue arising involving the obtaining of additional office’! Space was the question of a possible investigation of NY 694-S%, by another agency or the enemy. Informant has been much εἰ concerned about this possibility. In order to resolve as many problems as possible in connection with additional office space, it was deemed advisable to include this problem in considering the location of such an office,
το τῷ a
in |
With reference to such a possibility of investiga- ν tion by someone else, the question of surveillance must be of prime consideration, Although the informant is most adept
at cleaning himself, we cannot lose sight of the fact that it still could be possible tomaintain a surveillance without the informant's knowledge. This is particularly true Lnvolving
a street surveillance, The informant could possibly be traced under these conditions to his present office location.

Letter to Director NY 100-134637
Because of this and other reasons and as the Bureau concurs, it was not deemed advisable to maintain highly confidential material in his present office space. Of utmost importance
is to prevent anybody from tracing the informant to another office where confidential items are maintained. Without question, attempting to surveill an individual within the confines of a building is one of the most difficult surveillances possible. The calculated risk in such a surveillance is practically nil. Therefore, under this assumption, it was believed that if the informant had been under surveillance
to the building, such a surveillance could not be continued within the building and, therefore, he would be relatively safe by having another office within the confines’ of the
same building. If on the other hand, the office was located in another building, then there would be no more security than there was originally. In fact, there would be much Less security since he could again be picked up on surveillance as he left the building to go to another building. These factors must be considered in the light of the possibility that he could be identified as a clandestine operator bypeople within the building.
AS was pointed out in NYlet of 2/7/62, this building has automatic elevators available to the informant with no operators thereon. There are two stairwells Which are availabe to the informant. The informant could very jeasily, with a minimum_possibility of detection, take the ekvator to the _lith floor and then walk to the floor below via the stairwell to the new office, Further, since he has an office on the 17th floor, when he goes to take the automatic elevator and if for any reason decides not to take it, due to someone being in the corridor, and returns to his office, it would not appear to be unusual. Further, with the automatic elevator he at any point en route down could designate another floor and get off. Char force women are not operating in the building during the daytime. If, while Walking down the stairway, he is observed, there is no reason why he would have to stop off on the 10th floor.

Letter to Director NY 100-134637
It is readily agreed that there is a calculated | isk as there is in any and all such operations. It is “felt that our job is to reduce that calculated risk to a very minimum. It is the considered opinion of the New York Office, as well as the informant, that this would be
reduced to an absolute minimum if this office were “Located in the same me building. None .of these advantages
add = καὶ
would be available le if his office were in another building.
Reference is made to the Bureau's objection to the office being rented by a Special Agent, using his home address for rental purposes. The Bureau points out that it may eventually be necessary to tell the Russian eontact where he is doing his clandestine work and that it would be better for the informant to obtain this additional Space either in_his_ own name or the name of a fictitious person. This matter also was given very serious consideration. Referring to the previous paragraph, it will be noted that one thing that the NYO considers paramount, that, this new office not be traced_to the_informant. As far as it “being necessary to advise the Russian contact where the work is being done, this appears doubtful, but assuming that it will be necessary at some time, it is not felt that this would have any effect on the proposed plan. Obviously, the Russians do not have access to the building records. Purther, it would be necessary for the Russian to go through our sources in order to obtain any information. Appropriate arrangements could be made whereby this would be blocked, Therefore, the most that the Russians could find out is that he is maintaining another office. If this were the case, then we would be in the same position as we were if the informant advised him of the location of the operation where he is doing his clandestine work. In either event, the security of the operation is not jeopardized. On the other hand, assuming that an outside agency made an attempt to obtain the records, our sou ice could block this attempt and we would be advised, If by chance there was a slip up where they were able to obtain the records the most they could do would be to trace the operation to the FBI. In such an event, which would appear to be improbable, it is felt that the matter could be handied by either the Bureau or the NYO.
- 3 =
Letter to Director ΝΥ LOO-134637
If it is agreed that the office should not be rented by the informant, and in order to avoid unnecessary inguiry within the management of the office, it is strongly felt that the best security lies in the agent renting the premises under an assumed company name by the use of his own name as the rentor giving his home address. In this fashion, the rental can be handled very smoothly without any unnecessary inquisitiveness or inquiry and without the record showing any FBI connection. Therefore, considering all the risks involved, the NYO still concludes that the least calculated risk involves the rental of these premises under a fictitious company name by an agent usinghis own name and home address.
The Bureau points out that using this office as a meeting place between the agent and informant is not satisfactory and that the informant must do his own work. It is desired to point out to the Bureau that in connection with the rental of additional office space, it is to the advantage of the Bureau and the NYO to usé this office for the purpose of creating the best security conditions possible. The Bureau is well aware of the manner in which meets are made with the informant. These are done on the street, in hotel rooms, in an apartment, etc. There has been adequate security in this regard in the past but we are not prepared to say that security could not be improved. With this thought in mind, the NYO felt that if the office were located in the same building and rented under the suggested plan, 1τ would be one of the most secure places where such meetings could be held. From a practical standpoint, it does not mean that all meetings are actually held in this office, It does on the other hand provide a space whereby when the informant has material to turn over to the agent, he can deposit this material in a safe in this office and an gent could later pick up the material with full security. This would be particularly true in connection with the transfer of money. It has been our experience that in most instances, the Russian leaves this money with the informant at his office. Under current arrangements, it is necessary for the informant to carry as much as $150,000 out on the street in order to transfer same to the agent. Certainly any improvement possible in this line of communication would be desirable, An office located in the same building would solve this problem. In addition, the Bureau has already
-4.
Letter to Director NY 100-134637
volunteered to assist the informant in connection with the handling of enciphering. Further, it would be most desirable if Bureau Laboratory representatives were on hand when secret ink communications are utilized and processed. Again such an office space would be highly desirable. Therefore, the NYO feels that if the office were rented under the conditions set out above, the contacting agent should be permitted to meet the informant in that office; pick up material left by the informant in that office and finally for Bureau Laboratory men to assist the informant in that office when the occasion aises, The NYO sees no reason why the use of that office should be limited to the informant.
With reference to the cost of this additional space, the informant has advised that he still feels that it would not be to the benefit of the operation to make an issue relative to its payment by either the Russian or the CP. He states, nevertheless, that if the Bureau feels strongly on that point and can see no harm being done to the operation, he will talk to the Russian contact and GUS HALL regarding this meter. With reference to the opinion of the NYO, it is realized that monetary consideration is not involved in the Bureau's suggestion, in view of the importance of this operation as compared to the expenditure of $78.00 per month. The only question as we see it is the security aspect involved in the failure to ask the Russian for the money. On a previous occasion, the informant got nowhere when he asked for payment. There is no reason to believe that the situation has changed, merely by reason of a change in contact. By ask- ing the Russian or GUS HALL, he is inviting attention to the location of another office, the whereabouts of which they would not otherwise be familiar. If the informant were forced by the Russians or GUS HALL to reveal where he is doing his clandestine work, the informant has a ready answer in advising them that he is doing this work in Room 2218, at 401 Broadway, which office space has been rented by the informant under an assumed name having no FBI ‘connection and the existence of which office is already ‘Known “to GUS HALL. As the Bureau is aware, this: location is utilized for the storage of CP records. Therefore, consider- ing°all aspects of this question, the NYO recommends against the , informant again bringing up this question at this time.
-~5.-
Letter to Director NY 100-134637
In conclusion, the Bureau is advised that this matter has again been discussed with NY 694-S* and the informant advises that if the Bureau is adamant against the above plan, that he will do his clandestine work in. Room 2218 at 401 Broadway. For the various reasons,
“previously mentioned, the NYO feels that the security risk is much greater at this office than it would be at the suggested place. On the other hand, it would offer aS much security as an office in any other building which could be rented. If the Bureau will not authorize rental of the office space as requested in reflet, it is the NYO recommendation under those conditions that Room 2218 at 401 Broadway be utilized for such purposes. The informant stated that he will keep his coded material locked up at home in that event.
The Bureau's attention is also called to the fact that it has been necessary to release the management of 50 Broad Street from holding the room on the 10th floor. it is unknown if this space can be obtained in the future. There is a possibility that they will not be able to rent this room within the next 2 or 3 weeks and, therefore, the Bureau is requested to give expedite consideration to this decision, as otherwise all these questions will be academic.

As noted in CGairtel of January 3, 1962, the original photographs had been taken by an official Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) photographer assigned to the 22nd Congress, CPSU, and represented the official fraternal delegates’ identi-_ fication photographs.
Knowledge regarding the fact that such photographs ; were made was limited to the delegates in attendance at the —_ Congress and CG 5824-S* was the only member of the Communist Party, USA (CP, USA) fraternal delegation, to his knowledge, furnished with a set of photographs of the American delegation, Therefore, aS was pointed out in CGairtel, these photographs Shouid not be disseminated outside the Bureau or utilized in connection with any investigative matter since to do so would

The Bureau is, of course, desirous of Lnowing the specific nature of this material, as woll as the return address used for this material (whether or not the return address is that previously used by our inform ant}, and whother or not any of this material was in tho hand- writing of the informant. In this resard, Chicago is again referred to Bulet of 2/1/62 concorning correspondence between CG 8324-S* and NY 694-S* and the Soviet Union.
Referenced New York letter and Chicago airtel, as woll as provious communications frem these officcs, reveal that results of the tracing of Solo funds will be reported under the caption of the CP member to whom such monoy has been transferred. In the future, it is desired that the actual tracing of Solo funds not be set forth in the body of a report on these individuals, Report the tracing of these funds under "Sole (Tracing of folio Funds), 15 - ¢."

It 18 peasible that infornant's contacts would rather have this elandestine work poyforned in another building ranoved from the building in which he maintains his current office,
With regard to the proposed new space on the 10th floor at δῇ Broa Street, you indicated in relet that the Space will be leaged by καὶ Special Agent using his residence addrese which is necessary to avoid having the renting office abk waneceseury questions, it would not be difficult to trace Gillmarsh Research to the address of the Special Agent and the PiI's counection with Gillmarsh Research easily established, It does not appear that this is a secure arrangenent especially eince the informant will eventually have to tell his Ruasian contaete vhere he 1s doing hig clandestine vork, It would be better for informant to obtain this additional espace elther ia his om name or the name Of 8 fictitious person, The space should he obtained

During the Sth Solo mission, NY 694-§ attended in Moscow, Russia, for & days a "seerct serviec school" where he took an intensificd course in microfilming, invisible inks and ecdes and ciphers, The purpose of this trainings was to improve informant's operations with Vladinir Barkovsky, the Soviet Ui official in New York City with whom NY 694-§ and CG 5824=-§ were an contact. The Soviets subsequently furnished secret writing material and codes and ciphers. Barkeovsky has since been replaced by Zaitsev and, according to New York Office, the necessary processing ox this material has been done by the New York Office as informant does not feel it should be done ait his home, , New York has reconmended that office space in addition to infornant's cover office be ebtained fer this clandestine work, Before we will approve this additional space, it is folt New York should give this matter additional thought as indicated in this lettcr,

ΤῈ such an investigation were conducted, he could be traced
to his present office, Further, if an anonymous source
were contacted at his office and material found therein,
either by the Russians or an intelligence agency, it would,
of course, violate security and ruin the present operation.
Informant feels that the Russians. would expect him to have
“some location_other. than his office to handle his--clandestine
operations. In addition, his present office has been used
_as.aidrop and, therefore, we-must assume that there is a Vv possibility that CIA is aware of such, On the possibility that the informant could be surveilled by another agency, it is felt that if office space were located in the same building he would have no problem dry-cleaning himself prior to going to the new office in order to handle his work. In addition, such an office space would permit agents to work with the informant and assist him in the operation when the need arose. ‘|The office could also serve as a meeting place between the contacting agent and the informant in order to receive messages and documents. This would be much more preferable than ‘meeting the informant on the street or in a hotel room where the possibility of a surveillance exists. In renting such an office, there would be no connection whatsoever with the informant but rather it would be rented by the FBI under an assumed name. There could be no tie-up, therefore, between this office space and the informant. An office such as this would be much more desirable than an apartment due to the problem of curious neighbors, etc. It is not unusual for people to be entering an office, whereas an apartment having the appearance of only being occupied by men would cause neighbors to become curious. If such an office were approved and were burglarized by CIA, city police, state police, etc., the operation could possibly be traced back as an FBI operation but in any event could not be traced back to the informant. oe
In view of the reasons set out above, Te lontendent at 50 Broad Street, as we as Assistant Vice President to the WILLIAT SA,
» Real Estate Broker for the building, were con- tacted, These individuals are regular contacts of this office and are highly reliable. They advise that they could make available to us an office located on the 10th floor, namely
space #1012, This office has appToximately 200 square feet “of space and measures approximately 13x17 feet. The space
|
Letter to Director Re: NY 100-134637
was shown to supervisor, Jane SA GEORGE EDWIN JONES and it is their opinion that this space would be
ideal for the purpose. There is a large window set back in a court, facing Broad Street, and about 75 yards opposite the closest window to the building on Broad Street. There is one door to the office, which is wooden (no glass). In addition, there is no glass in the transom but rather it 15 made of wood. The office has bean freshly painted and has anew tile floor. The electricity is AC current and there are sufficient electrical outlets for our purpose,
Io 7c The office is located in a corridor just off the elevator lobby on the 10th floor. There is no entrance to an office directly opposite the entrance to this room. The only tenant presently occupying space in the vicinity is
an office next door, which are the ac the owner of the building. Both τς τ] and advise that there is no question of their loyalty. ndicées have been
checked with negative results. The walls to the office are cinder block construction and soundproof,
[id stated we could have this space for $78 _
a month, ou e necessary to take out a lease due to the ‘fact that to do otherwise would require that several other people be aware of our interest. He stated that it would i " be preferable if this could be handled as a normal business transaction and that it would be possible to obtain a one
year lease. It would be necessary to furnish at the time
‘the lease is signed a $75.00 security, plus $78.00 for the first months rent, Thé Iease would be set up under the name ; of an agent, namely G. E. JONES, using his residence address. ; The lease would indicate that G. E. JONES would be doing business as GILLMARSH RESEARCH, which is a fictitious name. This name has been searched through the telephone directory
and nothing similar was found. The reason why it would be necessary to use the true name of an individ@ol for the lease purpose is to avoid the renting office asking unnecessary
questions, agai i the_knowledge of our interest in the office space col dend{— If any inquiries were made of the renting ice by some other agency, they would not be able to trace it to the FBI. The name on the door would be
limited to the number of the διαβάς, plus GILLMARSH RESEARCH.

With reference to the elevator set-up, at the present time there are 2 fully automatic elevators that express to the llth floor and then become a local. There are 4 man- operated elevators but they are being converted to fully automatic ones and will be completed by June. Therefore, for the present an individual could take a self-operated elevator to the llth floor and walk down one floor by the use of one of the two stairwells in the building, or he could take the other elevator directly to the 10th floor. As far as the informant is concerned, his office being located on the 17th 1... floor, he could take the automatic elevator to the 11th floor + and walk one floor or take the man-operated elevator directly to the 10th floor. From June on, he would use the automatic elevators. There are 2 entrances to the building, one on Broad Street and the other on New Street,
In order to maintain full security on this operation, it is recommended that the Bureau authorize the entering into the above-described lease for the sums stated. In addition, Bureau authority is requested to expend up to $250.00 for furnishings, which will include the purchase of Iumber for construction of an appropriate_cabinet_to conceal a safe, which in turn will contain the confidential items necessary for the informants operation. This sum, will also include the purchasé of special hardware (lock) for the door. ~- With reference to the safe, it is desired that we secure a safe 3:6 large enough to place therein these confidential items as well 170 as other documents that the informant may have to transmit to the agent. It is desired that the safe be of such construction and weight to offer reasonable protection from a possible burglary. The lockg will be surrounded by a hard plate prevent-

For the confidential ion of the Bureau, it has been ascertained from that due to the security features involved in this safe, CIA has purchased a dozen from him to be utilized in their offices abroad. Bureau authority is requested to expend $249.00 for this safe.
Bureau authority is also requested to pay for the cost of installing and operating a telephone in this office.
For the general information of the Bureau, it should be noted that 50 Broad Street (location of the suggested office space) is in the financial district in New York City and approximately 100 feet from the New York Stock Exchange. Pedestrian traffic is very heavy in the area. In addition, this area is heavily patrolled by the New York City Police Department for obvious reasons and the possibility of a burglary at this address would be extremely remote. This is in contrast to a loft building, a building without Similar police protection or an apartment house, Therefore, the location of this office from a security standpoint would appear to be ideal.
In view of the fact that this office is being temporarily held for us, the Bureau is requested to give expeditious consideration to this request.

The New York Office advised that the matter had been dis- cussed with NY 694-S* on the basis that from a security standpoint periodic changes shouid be made in the communications system utilized by him and CG 5824-S*. Informant agreed there should be no particular problem with respect to changing code names and the location of drops, including post office boxes, and limiting the use of such drops to essentials as suggested by the Bureau.

The Chicago Office discussed this matter ae CG 5824-S* subsequent to his return from the west coast and New York, CG 5824-S%, felt that this matter presented no insurmountable problems.

' According to CG 5824-S* the Soviets apparently do ‘not care whether or not ‘the identity of Box 341 is know. WhiTé this στο may be true, mail going to and received from Box 341 in Moscow should never be sent from or received at a box or drop which informants expéct to use on a Solo mission.

Memorandum to Mr. Sullivan RE: SOLO 100-428091
In the immediate future Chicago plans that CG 5824-S* will be supplied with at least one or more new Chicago drop boxes and CG 5824-S* will prepare a message advising the Soviets accordingly. The old boxes will be maintained for a short period of time until the change-over to the new boxes is complete and there appears to be ne further correspondence coming to the old boxes.
New suitable code names will be discussed with informants but prior to furnishing this information to the Soviets it will be brought to the attention of the Bureau. In addition, the feasibility of the location of additional drop boxes in cities such as Detroit or Milwaukee will be discussed with informant if arrangements can be made whereby these drops will be serviced and controlled solely by the Bureau. In this connection such a drop in another city would be valuable for the use of informant in sending back such items as translations from the Soviet press and materials he obtained from other Communist Party representatives at the 22nd Congress Communist Party, Soviet Union in Moscow last October.
CG 5824-S* felt that any effort to change drop boxes at frequent or periodic intervals would involve considerable communication and disruption of possible channels of communication. The security of these informants far outweighs any such inconvenience and disruption and both offices are being instructed to change drops on a periodic basis.
CG 5824-5* has already taken steps to limit traffic to these drops and boxes to essentials. In this connection he is using the Modern Book Store in Chicago and World Books in New York City, both Communist Party-operated stores, for use in receiving certain Soviet pamphlets and publications.
CG 5824-S* in the future, where appropriate and possible, will attempt to utilize typewriting in his communications from abroad so that there will not be an excessive amount of handwriting and handprinting in his communications which can be possibly identified later,
Memorandum to Mr. Sullivan RE: SOLO 100-428091
Until such time as CG 5824-S* and NY 694-5* have had an opportunity to personally discuss methods of communication between the two informants on Solo trips, no specific recommenda- tions are being made at this time.
ACTION:
We are following this matter and will keep you apprised of current developments.

5.5 C ReBulet 2/1/62, CGlet 2/6/62, and NYlet 2/7/62.
ReBulet 2/1/62 set forth information to the effect ra that a “most sensitive source" had furnished the Bureau infor- ry mation showing that it is aware of certain correspondence Ady from CG 5824-5* in Moscow, Russia, to a specific Post Office a box in Chicago, etc. This source, however, was not aware of ( CG 5824-S8*'s identity. The matter referred to in reBulet pyk was discussed with CG 5824-S5S* immediately upon his return | from his recent trip to New York, At this time, in discussing a the matter, CG 5824-S* felt that the inquiries put forth at | this time regarding the matters in reBulet ‘presented no in- surmountable problems, Specifically, in regard to some points .jfe set forth in reBulet, the following is being noted: ἯΙ
4 Regarding the Use of ἢ Box 341, Moscow, Russia
According to CG 5824-S8*, the Soviets apparently do , not care whether the identity of Box 341 is known. It has, A) in CG 5824-S8*'s opinion, been furnished not only to the } Communist Party (CP), USA, but, in all probability, to many other CPs for use in connection with routine mailings of matter and for purposes of contact. Accordingly, it would not be feasible for CG 5824-S* to take steps to change this box, nor would it be practical to make a suggestion of change to the Soviets, —
Specifically, the only use to which Box 341 is put "- during normal periods is for the mailing of routine printed ie material. However, during the course of a Solo mission,
there has been occasion to utilize this address for contact
between the informants.

Regarding the Change of Code Names
CG 5824-8* is of the opinion that such code name 6. change can readily be accomplished and that the only major factor here involved is that involving. time. In order. that such change in code hames might be made, it-would be essential that the Communist Party, Soviet Union (Cpsy) be advised of any change in code hames through ‘apparatus channels, He dogs not feel that. the Soviets at this time would put forth any objection to such a change and
might, in fact, consider such change a feasible security easure, | ΝΞ
Regarding Change of Drops Including’ Post: Office Boxes ne B08
OG 5824-5 again advised that this can be accomplished without objection from the Soviets. Again, it would be necessary to transmit to the Soviets a ᾿ message through the apparatus cancelling out certain boxes _ and at the game time furnishing the identity of any drops which were considered suitable for use, However, because of the possibility that some future material could be inadvertently directed to a former drop,.¢G 0824.$# Suggests that if the decision is made to discontinue — any drop or box, that control be retained of that drop

aly possible receipt therein of information,

OG 134-46 Sub B
by the CP of China. This failure to change such mailing addresses by the CP of China was pointed out by CG 5824~5* because he receives the same two Chinese publications through a Chicago drop box, namely Post Office Box. 8427,
' New Post Office, Chicago. This example, he cited, was
ἃ good reason vby any former or cancelled drops should be retained for some period of time,
Possibility of Changing Drops and Boxes to Nearby Cities
In discussing this matter, CG 5824-S* advised that the most important and innediate consideration in this regard would be the obvious and apparent access to such drop boxes on his part, He does not feel that the Soviets would favorably consider the utilization of any drops at points distant from the source's base of operation since he would not be in a position of having ready and immediate access. In line with this, CG 5824-8* does not feel, based on a necessity to control the apparatus, that he should presently bring luto it individuals who might be in a position to service such drops located outside of aa his immediate base of operation, He also pointed out that — F any city being considered for the. location of drop boxes cf {must be large and fall generally in the category of size at! of New York City, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, and 3, possibly Milwaukee. In smaller cities the source feels " ‘that there is present the hazard οὗ the remote possibility Hof curiosity or some slip-up bringing these boxes to lithe attention of government officials.
Possibility of Periodic Changes of Drop Boxes |
The biggest problem in this regard that 0G 5824-5* sees is that. some of these drop box addresses have been furnished to other CPs by him. In most cases
CG 134=46, Sub ὃ
such drops have never been utilized and may not be utilized in the future. However, since their identities are known to some other CPs and to individuals, there is always the possi- bility that they might in the future be utilized for communi- cation channels, Any effort to change at frequent or periodic intervals such boxes would involve considerable communication
and disruption of possible channels of communication,
Regarding the Limitation of Traffic to the Drops and Boxes of Essential and Necessary Communication '
This point, according to CG 5824-8*, has been given serious consideration on his part, He noted that while abroad he had taken steps which would, in part, effectuate such an objective, This was in part accomplished when arrangements were made with representatives of the CPSU and the CP of Czechoslovakia that when certain routine but pertinent
pamphlets, books, and similar material were mailed to him be
from such points that it be sent in part to locations bIC n Book Store in Chicago, which is operated b
- a CP member, or through World Books, the CP book
store in New York City, This procedure was adopted by the
Soviets and he is now receiving, for example, through the Modern Book Store a number of Soviet pamphlets and publications, Prior to the time he made such ar 5 with the Soviets,
he had discussed the matter nen ζ τῆι the Modern Book Store and with representatives of World Books in New York,
In addition, CG 5824-5* advised that arrangements had been completed to cut down the items mailed by him to Box 841 in Moscow, Russia, of certain non-classified publications and newspaper clippings, These arrangements consisted of his securing the agreement of HELEN WINTER of Detroit to prepare and mail such material, on his instructions, from Detroit, Michigan, She in turn will advise CG 5824—5* when such material is actually sent by her. By this means, he has not only relieved himself of a considerable amount of extra work, but he has brought about a change of the origin of such material and eliminated many of the Chicago mailings abroad.

Recommendation Regarding Methods of Communication Between Informants on
Solo Trips
Since no such trip is presently contemplated or anticipated in the near future, CG 5824=5* would like time to discuss in full this matter with NY 694-5%, He has hopes that such a meeting to discuss this point as well as other ‘problems can be held in the near future. As a result of this discussion, it is hoped suggestions in this regard can be made to the Bureau. However, as of the present time, no opportunity has. been available where CG 5824-S* and NY 694-S¥ have been able to get together at their mutual convenience to discuss this matter, Until such time as these sources have fully discussed the problem, it is felt that no specific recommendations should be made, .
Concerning Matter of Utilizing Hand- printing or Typewriting in Connection with Communications Between Informants
According to CG 5824-5#, he has in the past in addressing communications in most cases alternated between handwriting and handprinting; however, in the opinion of the Chicago Office, this is not a complete solution since it is apparent that both bave certain identifiable characteristics, 118 view of this, CG 5824~8* will in the future, when appropriate and possible, attempt to utilize typewriting,
In Summarizing and in line with the above, Chicago will commence immediately to make the necessary suitable adjustments and changes which will in the overall, strengthen the security of this operation, In the immediate future,
CG 5824-5* will be supplied with at least. one or more new Chicago drop boxes and have him prepare a message advising
the Soviets accordingly. New suitable code names will be discussed, but prior to any furnishing of same to Soviets,
it will be brought to the attention of the Bureau, In addition, the feasibility will be discussed with CG 5824$* of the location of additional drop boxes in cities, for example,
like Detroit or Milwaukee if it could be arranged that these drops might be serviced and controlled solely by the Bureau,
This matter is being followed closely, and the Bureau and New York will be kept advised,

εὐ ἢ will be recalled thet in the past ἃ representative of the North and South American Section of the International Department, Central Committee, Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) had made inquiry concerning the current status of Frederick Lichtblau, an individual who had a number of years
ago spent sone tine in the Soviet Unioa,
Tt has now been hearned theg Teadore Vofsy recently traveled to California to see his soi During the course of this visit, Wofsy had occasion to mest with Frederick Lichtblau at which tine a rather extensive discussion occurred,
The essence of the information learned at this tine by Votsy through coayergation with Lichtblau is as follows:
Frederick Lichtblau rengins friendly and has recently becone active in public organizations but is not ἃ member of the Communist Party. Presently, he 19 runaing a nunber of haberdasheries for which his father supplied the capital. His wite now also has become a bit more active and friendhy than he had been in the past,
Tn discuasiag hie studies while in the Soviet Union, Lichtblau stated that the school he had attended was coaducted on a very low level; that if he had applied the same energy in selfegtudy and reading, he would have gained just as much,
Lichtblau also complained that during his stay in the USER he had been totally isolated and never invited anywhera, Except for official invitations to public places, he had never visited the hone of any Party meaber or functionary or the. hone of anyone with vhon he worked, .
Lichtblau reportedly steted that after leaving the UGGR and attending a youth conference, he had gone to Budapest, This had occurred during the counterrevolution which occurred in Hungary. At the time he took safety in a cellar and had no food for days, His youngest child was 11} and a number of efforts to go out and got food and medicine for this child fniled because of the shooting going on in the streets, He

Stated that it was during this period that the Soviet comrade who was with hin, or as Lichtblau says, deserted hin. He lator wade sone contacts with Soviet citizens and asked that he be allowed to go to Czechoslovakia, At first these indie viduals counseled against it and the Hungarians refused hin permission to leave the country. However, a few days later they did allow hin to leave and put him on a boat, and he went to Czechoslovakia,
In Prague, Czechoslovakia, he caw Irving Potash who advised him to go to the United States. Lichtblay clains that it was Potash who advised him te go to the United States Bubassy in Prague, to register his child as a United States citizen, and apply for permission te come back to the United States, Lichtblau stated he had no trouble at the United States Eubassy which, in granting him permits, was supposed to have told him that you won't have any difficulties in getting back because UcCarthyism is dead in the United States,
The essence of the above information is to be fur« nished to the CPSU in accordance with thelr early request, In preparing this information for the Soviets, it will be clearly set forth that Lichtblau did not voluntarily got in touch with the Communist Party and that the two contacts with him had been sought by the Party, It will also be noted that the comments set forth do not reflect the opinion of the CP, USA but are the words of Lichtblau.:

Item 3 was selected by WINTER on the instruction of CG 5824-8* for use of the wife of ALEKSEI GRECHUKHIN, an employee of the North and South American Section of the International Department of the Central Committee, CPSU.
Item 4 was selected by WINTER on the instruction of CG 5824-S* and was to be sent to SEMA KUZNETSOV, an employee of the North and South American Section of the International Department of the Central Committee, CPSU,
In order that there would be no misunderstanding as to who was to receive Items 3 and 4 and to identify the actual transmitter of these items, Item 3 was to contain a blonde hairnet for the personal use of Mrs, GRECHUKHIN, and Item 4 was to contain a dark hairnet for KUZNETSOV,
Items 1 and 2 were submitted for the general information of the International Department.
In zwgard to the manner in which these items were submitted, they were packaged and addressed by HELEN WINTER and mailed from Detroit, Michigan, CG 5824-S*'s handwriting does not appear in connection with this transaction, No Chicago mail drop address was set forth as the return address but rather these items were submitted with a Detroit return address selected by HELEN WINTER on CG 5824-S*'s instruction, The specific return address utilized by WINTER in this regard is unknown and CG 5824-S* does not feel it would, at this time, be proper for him to make inquiry regarding it; however, such information might be forthcoming at a later date, This material was submitted on CG 5824-S*'s instruction to Post Office Box 341, Moscow, Russia. As previously noted, there could be, because of the placing of the hairnets in Items 3 and 4 above, no question as to the true identity of the individual responsible for the overall submission of these items,
In regard to the $70 provided WINTER on 2/23/62, source advised that he has received no information indicating that WINTER had utilized these funds for the purchase of

additional material to be sent to Post Office Box 341, Moscow. In regard to such material, CG 5824-S* advised he will inform WINTER of the nature of the material she should purchase and she, on his instructions, will later f advise him of the specific items purchased and sent,
in connection with the request in referenced | Bureau letter as to whether the serial numbers were recorded by the source of SOLO funds provided various individuals, CG 5824-S* advised that this had not been done in connection with any payment recorded in referenced Chicago airtel. He advised that this had resulted from the fact that these payments were all made as a result of “spur of the moment situations" and were from “out of his pocket" and personal funds, For example, the payment made to GUS HALL on 3/7/62, occurred on the West Coast and was based on an “on the spot" request made by HALL, In the instance of the payment of 2/12/62, to WINTER, he noted that during conversations with WINTER at the time of hex departure from Chicago, arrangements had been made for her to make certain mailings and, accordingly, supplied her funds at this time.
Normaily, CG 5824-S* advised that he does not carry in his possession monies which are part of reserve funds in order to avoid intermingling with his own funds and the loss of these monies, Therefore, when he travels, he does not have available to him reserve funds,
However, where larger sums are involved and no important time factor is present, CG 5824-S* makes available necessary information regarding serial numbers, etc., for example, that involving the φᾷ, 000 recently turned over to PEGGY DENNIS from such funds an san Francisco,

This information was made available on 3/3/62 by CG 5824-S* to SA RICHARD ἡ, HANSEN,
In regard to the information incorporated in the enclosed informant's statement, CG 5824-S* noted that while it was not at the time specifically stated, the written message transmitted to him by PHIL BART undoubtedly had already been delivered to GUS HALL and HALL apparently had instructed BART to furnish it to CG 5824-S* so that certain portions thereof might be extracted and transmitted to the CP of CZ,
There is also being enclosed herewith for the Bureau two photostats and for the New York Office one photostat of the article referred to in the written message which had appeared in the "Seattle Post ~ Intelligencer," February 18, 1962, which had been included with the BURT NELSON memorandum.
One photostat of the original message and one photo- stat of the above-described newspaper clipping are being retained by the Chicago Office as exhibits in CGfile 134-46, Sub B,
In regard to the information set forth herein, it bE

NeBuairtel 3/13/62 revarding a message to be trans- nittcd to the Soviets relating to the sending of a film on William 4, Poster to the Communist Party, USA, through Canada and that delivery of this message should be held in abeyance pending further instruction. CG 5824-5* was to be contacted by Chicago to determine if this film could be dolivered through wtilization of the contact in Mexico.
CG 5324-8* was of tho opinion it would not be feasible to use the Moxican contact but no valid reason was set forth for such a belicf,
The Bureau is unable to fathom the informant's reasoning in continuing to insist on receiving this fiin through contacts in Canada instead of Mexico. As was pointod out to you previously, the Bureau does not desire that CG §324-5* and NY 694-5* nake trips to Canada or use such τ 8, eourse of action as suggested by CG 5924-S* nnless sone a extraordinary energency situation exists. As you knov,
a Canadian authorities are most intcrested in NY 094-5* and
ἢ this has caused some difficulty between the Bureau and tho
ἐ : Royal Canadian Mounted Police. |
—— Further, according to information submitted by informant, Soviet officials instructed CG 5324-5* not to use Cand as ἢ, contact DOI in ere eneure. In spite’ or this

It is also noted that CG 5824~-~S* did not believe that either he or NY 694-S* would be confronted with the necessity to travel to Canada. However, he did not nake a positive statenent in this regard. He also felt he could avoid jeopardy to himself and NY 694-S* through the use of
a reliable third party completely under his control in
regard to Canadian travel; however, here again he made no positive guarantee in this regard nor did he furnish the
name of the person he anticipates using. At no point does informant state what course of action he will pursue or can pursue in the event Gus Hall instructs him or NY 694~S5* to make this trip to Canada. Chicago must remember that any information received by Canadian authorities that the Communist Party of Canada has material for either of these informants may “bain trigger 2 situation which the Bureau desires to avoid,
In discussing this matter with the informant, we do not care whether the film comes in through Canada or through Mexico as long as it can be delivered into the United States with no possibility that either NY 694-5* or CG 5824-S* may have to make a trip into Canada. If it can be set up so that the package is mailed from Mexico or CG 5824-S* go to Mexico after it, this is fine. If it can be mailed from Canada into the United States with security, this is satisfactory. We do not want any situation to develop, hovever, wherein Gus Hall may order CG 5824-S* or HY 694-5* to go to Canada to pick up the film. If it is possible, the Bureau would Like to completely eliminate Canada from this particular operation.
In the event the Chicago Office loses control of this situation and it becomes necessary for either of these informants to go to Canada on this trip or if as a result of this we are placed in a compromising position, responsibiec Chicago personnel will be held strictly accountable.

In regard to the above material, CG 5824-S* on 3/12/62, advised SA RICHARD Ἦν, HANSEN that he recently had heard that the bi-monthly theoretical organ of the Communist Party of China (CPC) "Hung Chi’, had carried a strong attack on the policy which the CPC called "unconditional peaceful co-existence", in which it was noted that such policy calls for compromise and concessions to imperialism.
CG 5824—-s* feels that the 3 items received on 3/9/62 undoubtedly reflect the current position of the CPSU to this and other attacks against it by the CPC, Accordingly, he felt these items had been submitted to the CP, USA, and probably other CPs of the world to set forth clearly the CPSU position on such matters, He further pointed out that while the CP, USA had previously had access to this material at the time of the release, the CPSU wanted to be certain by this method of such mailing to again alert the Barty to these documents’ importance. As further evidence of the possible importance and stress the CPSU places on these items, it is further reflected that this particular mailing to the Chicago drop involved was the first in the past year in which the source had not in some way initiated the drop's use. It came entirely unsolicited from the CPSU. ᾿
Two photostats of each of the above 3 described documents are being enclosed herewith for the Burgéau and one photostat of each is being furnished New York. One photostat of each is being retained by the Chicago Office as an exhibit in 134-46 Sub B. The originals have been returned to the source,

Qn 3/15/62, NY 694—4S% advised SA ALRXANDER C, BURLINSON that on 3/14/62, GUS HALL, CPUSA General Secretary, stated that, with regard to the source of the money which, in large part, is supporting the Party, he had in mind telling the CP leadership the following:
Since 1958, "a finance committee on the gutside” (out- side the leadership) has been responsible for obtaining most of the money which has been available to the Party. HALL organized this committee and has worked with it. In fact, of the $250,000.00 which the committee raised last year, HALL himself raised about $50,000.00. This committee has worked with "dogged determination, sacrificing everything in the interest of the Party. "
The meney has come from denors contacted by the committee, and from various business enterprises which the Party secretly operates.
The committee has had a particularly difficult task to perform since most of the important donors of the past have been lost and the income from Party enterprises has been reduced, as ἃ result of which the Party's income had been drastically reducéd. If HALL persgnally had not worked with this committee, if he had not traveled as he has, for the purpose of raising money, the committee would have lost heart and quit.
While this committee has been successful to date, there is no guarantee that it will continue.to be successful in the future, The attitude of the leadership, particularly of PHIL BART; has been “to sit by placidly, and await the flow ef gold into its lap every Friday night." HALL justifiably can Geeuse the CP leadership of gross negligence as regards obtaining money for the Party.
It 1s time that the leadership stir itself, and make some real effort to collect money for the Party. HALL suggests that the leadership appoint a committee of three from its own group to make a determined effort to raise money.
———
NY 12100-74560
For the current year, the Party needs more than $250,000.00 for its operations. Between $1500.00 and $2000.00 per week is required by the National office. $30,000.00 is required for "a good and welfare fund." In the latter part of the year, "The Worker" will need $80,000.00. Between $12,000.00 and $20,000.00 will be required to subsidize the CP Youth Move- ment, The new trade union magazine ("Labor Today") and the negro magazine ("Freedomways"), between them, will need about $25,000.00 during the current year, HALL anticipates that the National Committee, "for administrative purposes" will require about $25,000.00 during the current year.
After outlining as above what he proposed to tell the CPUSA leadership at a coming meeting, HALL asked for NY 694-s*' opinion regarding his proposal. NY 694-~8* expressed the opinion that whether HALL was acting "defensively or offensively" with regard to the leadership, HALL should not assume that the leadership would believe HALL'’s statement that money for the Party was being raised as HALL said. The informant suggested that before HALL make this statement to the leadership, he dis-~ cuss it with cG ἢ δὲς
HALL agreed that he wouid postpone making the statement until he should have anopportunity to discuss it with ca 5Gel-s*

This is an informative memorandum to set forth contact of NY 694-S* by Valentin Aleksandrovich Zaitsev, Counselor, Soviet Mission to the United Nations, and informant's Soviet contact.
On the evening of 3/16/62 informant met Zaitsev pursuant to previously made arrangements. During the course of this meeting informant asked Zaitsev whether the latter had replies from the Soviets concerning questions previously submitted to Moscow by the Communist Party, USA (CPUSA). Zaitsev said that with regard to Mrs. Morton Sobell, the Soviets are prepared to give her $5,000 whenever she may require it. He instructed that Gus Hall, Genera Secretary, CPUSA, must use discretion in giving her this money in order that it may not be disclosed that the money came from the Soviets. Zaitsev suggested that Mrs. Sobell be told the money wa contributed by an anonymous donor.
Morton Sobell is presently incarcerated in the Atlanta Penitentiary where he is serving a 30-year sentence after conviction for conspiracy to commit espionage on behalf of the Soviet Government.
It will be remembered that Colonel Rudolf Abel and Reino Hayhanen, Soviet espionage agents, were furnished $5,000 by the Soviets which they were to supply to Mrs, Sobell. Hayhanen sub- sequently confiscated the money and converted it to his own use.
Memorandum Baumgardner to Sullivan 1/26/62 set forth contact between NY 694-S* and Zaitsev on 1/22/62, at which time Zaitsev, stated the Soviets desired to be informed whether Mrs. Sobell is in 2 need of money and, if so, they would supply it. That information wags furnished to the Attorney General by letter dated 1/29/62. /
Concerning the records of Robert Minor and James Ford, which the CPUSA had requested the Soviets to accept for temporary storage, Zaitsev said that in about one month this material could be shipped to Moscow for storage. It will be noted that the New York Office has already had access to these records for review for per~ tinent information contained therein. Robert Minor and,.James Ford are deceased former CPUSA national functionaries. .

Memorandum to Mr. Sullivan RE: SOLO 100-428091
Zaitsev then stated that the Soviets were greatly interested in Gus Hali's report revealing the iatter's evaluation of the Kennedy administration and that in the near future the CPUSA would receive the Soviets’ "reaction" to said report. The Soviets, according to Zaitsev, agree that President Kennedy is not a fascist but they consider him "young and ambitious."
It will be recalled that the White House and interested Government officials have been advised previously concerning the evaluation of the Kennedy administration by the CPUSA.
Zaitsev then instructed NY 694-S* to inform the CPUSA that the Communist Party, Soviet Union (CPSU), desires between 20 and 25 “leading people" of the CPUSA to go to Moscow during the current year as guests of the Soviets. He instructed that the CPUSA give considerable thought to who these individuals should be,
Informant then furnished Zaitsev for transmission to the Soviets a roll of microfilm containing messages from the CPUSA to the CPSU. These messages consisted of general information from the
CPUSA. OBSERVATION:
Since information concerning the fact that the Soviets have agreed to furnish Mrs, Morton Sobell with money if she needs it has been recently furnished to the Attorney General, this more recent information is not being disseminated. At such time as definite
information is received that the $5,000 has actually been furnished by the Soviets to the CPUSA for Mrs. Sobell, we will re-evaluate the circumstances and give consideration to furnishing that infor- mation to the Attorney General,
ACTION:
For information. You will be advised promptly of pertinent information received concerning clandestine contacts between NY 694-S* and Zaitsev.

ReBuairtel dated 3/20/62,
CG 5824-S* contacted 3/23/62 per Bureau request and made following observations re the bringing into the U.S. of the FOSTER film from the Soviet Union:
Informant recalled that in 9/61 he had been told by the Bureau that he was to avoid Canada in connection with any of his apparatus work.
Ke further recalled that on the occasion of his tenth Solo mission he had met with "PAUL" who told him that new arrangements were being set up by the CPSU so that the CP, USA would have a means of contact other than by utilization of CP of Canada or other Canadian contacts. "PAUL," according to informant, at that time "intimated" that the situation in Canada was difficult (10/61) but did not give explanations as to why additional contacts in Canada should be discontinued, | (See CGairtel 12/20/61 entitled, "SOLO," page 4.)
The informant further recalled that while on the Solo mission he had occasion to discuss with NIKOLAL VLADIMIROVICH MOSTOVETS, head of the North and South American Section, International Department, Central Committee, CPSU,

{~ it ‘ an
CG 134-46, Sub B
the question of getting the FOSTER film into the U.S. MOSTOVETS, in discussion, recognized that it was not possible for the CP, USA to bring the film into the U.S, and stated that the CPSU would arrange to deliver the film either through its Canadian channels or their (the Russian) film representative in NYC (Artkino). (See CGairtel 12/18/61 entitied, "SOLO," page 1.)
The informant further recalled the instructions of HALL with regard to sending a message to the Russians on this subject matter which in the words of HALL stated “perhaps it would be advisable to ship the film through the Canadian com- [δος and the CP, USA could pick it up from there." (see CGairtel 3/9/62 entitled "SOLO.")
The informant additionally recalled that upon his return from the tenth Solo mission in 12/61, he had learned of the recent Canadian spy case which broke in Canada and based upon this and the Bureau's instructions, he clearly understood the reason for the Bureau's instructions as well as for the Russian instructions. In view of this, he certainly would not even consider physically making a trip to Canada,
With regard to Mexico, the informant noted that his
Russian contacts and specifically "PAUL" noted the possibility in view of the Canadian situation that a representative of the CP, USA may need to have contacts in another country with representatives of the CPSU. "PAUL" at that time stated that if the CP, USA found it necessary for a contact with a repre- sentative of the Soviet Union at a place outside of the U.S., a letter should be prepared to an address furnished the informant by the Russians in Mexico in a specified manner jand he gave further instructions as to how the personal con- tact would be made in the vicinity of Mexico City.
The informant, in explaining this arrangement,
advised that the type of arrangement contemplated in Mexico
“PAUL" was for meetings on matters of importance to the CPSU and the CP, USA which might necessitate a personal discussion with an individual of "rank" from the Soviet Union who might be operating in Mexico. Such individual in the opinion of CG 5824-S* could be at the Embassy level. Such detailed arrangements by the Russians, informant observed,
~ Qa
CG 134-46, Sub B
are not normally made to cover an insignificant item such as a film on the FOSTER funeral. Instead, the problems which he understood the Mexican arrangements to apply to were intended to encompass perhaps political, organizational or financial problems that would require personal contact and consultation. The informant recalled that his dis- cussions with “PAUL" took place after the U.S. Supreme
Court decision on the ISA of 1950 and among things that
were being considered in the new arrangements, in addition to the security problem in Canada, were whether or not
CP, USA functionaries might not, as a result of this decision, be permitted to travel. The informant observed that in these discussions relating to the changed situation in the U.S., the discussions centered around problems involving "big things;" for example, the possible need for the continuation of the CP, USA, This is the thought that was behind the arrangements made concerning Mexico as coming within the scope of the utilization of Mexican channels and Mexican contacts.
The informant also recalled that in this conversa- tion arrangements were made for someone, if agreeable and necessary and vouched for by CG 5824-S*, to carry through such a meet in Mexico if CG 5824-S* was unable to handle it himself. This individual, according to CG 5824-S*, could conceivably, among other things, be used as a courier but again he stated that he did not feel that the overall arrange- ment was intended to cover insignificant matters such as the FOSTER film. In making this observation, he commented that the Russians know and recognize that on each contact, wherever it is, a certain amount of risk is involved and, therefore, it was the informant's opinion that the use of a courier to obtain the FOSTER film through Mexico might cause the Russians to seriously question the judgment of CG 5824-5* because the Mexican arrangement was not made or intended to cover such an item as a film.
With regard to the Mexican apparatus, the informant additionally observed that to date he has not succeeded in successfully testing that this apparatus is currently operative.
-3-
CG 134-46, Sub B
With the above background, the informant noted
that an item such as a film is bulky, insignificant, and simply would not be an assignment of a type that either he or NY 694-S* should be assigned to bring into the country personally. The reason for his deduction in this regard is that the Russians Know that the overall Solo operation might be placed in jeopardy through the utilization of these key individuals. He observed that at best the phy- Sical procuring of the film from outside the country should be a courier operation and he also noted the possibility that other avenues are open to bring this film into the country such as a normal mailing of such an item or as
Lat indicated by MOSTOVETS, the Russians might even send the ΤΕ film to the U.S. through their film company (Artkino) or re vee [im the diplomatic pouch, ἙῸΝ ~~ | The informant additionally recalled that BESS MASCALO, ‘the girl friend of TIM BUCK, still acts as a courier bé
εἶδος to RYC and suggested the possibility e Russians Τὺ send the film to Canada, TIM BUCK or may take it upon themselves to get the film to the CP, either
through her or other Canadian comrades traveling into this country. Further, in recent conversations with HELEN WINTER, she, WINTER, indicated that recently she had made one or
two trips across the Canadian border and the informant noted that she is aiso a possibility to bring this film into the country.
ml
With regard to the question raised by the Bureau
that HALL may demand that either of the two key informants | get the film, the informant advised that he is certain that ; HALL, like CG 5824-S*, realizes that the obtaining of the film from Canada or elsewhere is not important enough to jeopardize the security of either NY 694-S* or CG 5824-S* by asking them to physically go to Canada or elsewhere to bring back such a film which would be a bulky item. CG 5824-5* stated that he considers himself the closest advisor and | confidant of HALL in regard to the apparatus and noted that } HALL trusts his judgment implicitly and has rarely in the past even questioned him or advised on apparatus work.
In regard to the film, CG 5824-S* stated that he ! anticipates no unreasonable requests from HALL to get the
-ἀ ὦ

CG 134-46, Sub Β
FOSTER film and stated that in his opinion it is not even conceivable that HALL would make such a request. Rersardless of this, however, CG 5824-S* said that if HALL should even make such a ridiculous request, he, HALL, would be bound
by the Russian instructions re Canada and CG 5824-5" could, on this ground, alone convince him that neither he nor
NY 694-S* should go to Canada.
With regard to the manner and means in which this film might be brought to the U.S., CG 5824-S* again reverted to HALL's statement which in HALL's exact words stated "pick it up" and stated that this language must be viewed figuratively and not viewed as meaning necessarily that someone from the U.S. will physically obtain the film in Canada,
In explaining, further, HALL's knowledge of the workings of the apparatus of NY 694-S* and CG 5824-S*, the informant stated that HALL has no idea how the apparatus works and does not really care to know so long as the apparatus, in fact, is working. Relating this to bringing the film into this country, the informant stated that HALL will never know that the film was ever shipped by the Russians or received nor to what country they shipped it unless he is told by either of the informants. He qualified this remark only to the extent that he still considers it a possibility that the Russians may ship this film directly either in the diplomatic pouch or to their NY film outiet Artkino. ΠΕ added that any information regarding the arrival of this film, wherever the Russians decide to send it, will, in all probability, be conveyed through the apparatus channels controlled by NY 694+S* or CG 5824~5*,
Informant stated that once he or NY 694-5* receives word that the £ilm has arrived at any place and is available for transshipment into the U.S., then he feels he can make plans to get it in and any plans made prior to that time are, in the opinion of the informant, premature. At that time, the informant may request that the film be shipped to a drop controlled by the informants, he may send a trusted courier under his control to mike the contact, or, as stated before, the Canadians way arrange to get it to the CP, USA through their own means. Under no circumstances, the informant

stated, will he or NY 694~-S* fo to Canada solely to bring in this film.
With regard to the identity of the person CG 5824-S* may use as a courier, the informant stated that at this time he believes even a consideration of such an individual is premature and that once he learns that some action has been taken by the Russians re this film, he can then make plans, if necessary, for a courier to get it. At the present tine, he has no one specific in mind but he observed that the item involved does not have a time element and if plans are necessary to arrange to get it, there will be sufficient time for him to arrange for same to the complete satisfaction of the Bureau because, in all probability, either he or NY 694-S* will control the operation.
Chicago has always complied with Bureau instructions with regard to the handling of this informant. Chicago aiso observes that this informant has been controlled for ten years and where the security of the operation is involved, this office has been most sensitive to preserving the security of this operation. The case in point is no exception.
Recommendation
In view of the clarifying info set out in this airtel as regards the intentions of these informants not to physically visit Canada to bring this film into the U.S. and since these assurances, in effect, comply with Bureau's views set out on page 2, paragraph 2 in reBuairtel, it is recommended that the Bureau authorize NY to arrange for the transmittal of the HALL message re the film at the earliest possible time,

SUBJECT:
ReBulet 3/20/62.
On 3/22/62, SAS GEORGE EDWIN JONES and ALEXANDER BURLINSON, accompanied by NY 694-S*%, went to two branch offices of the CHEMICAL BANK-NEW YORK TRUST COMPANY, in each of which the informant maintains a safe deposit box for SOLO money. In his box at the 30 Broad Street branch, the agents examined the contents of the box wherein was located $80,000 in cash and $30, 000 in negotiable bo ponds.
At the 20th Street and Fifth Avenue branch of the aforesaid bank, an examination of the safe deposit box reflected that $66,408 in cash was in the box.
The total amount of cash and securities in the safe deposit box amounting to $176 8 coincides with the amount of SOLO money, which NYO records reflect are currently in the possession of NY 694-5%.,
The NYO letter of 3/2/62 reflected the balance of SOLO money on hand as of 2/28/62 to be $190,208. Since } the last accounting date, the informant has given GUS HALL $5,000 for the Negro magazine "FREEDOMWAYS"; $3,000 for ry the Trade Union Magazine “LABOR TODAY"; $2,000 for Baltimore / CP functionary GEORGE MEYERS to be used in CP work in the South and $2,000 for the use of the National Office.

The informant also gave HALL $1,000 for reimbursement for money HALL had taken from his personal funds to make the following disbursements:
$500 to CLARENCE HATHAWAY for the latter's personal use;
$300 for ROBERT THOMPSON for medical expenses for THOMPSON's daughter and
$200 to ELIZABETH FLYNN to help defray expenses of her sister's funeral.
The above-mentioned disbursements since the date of the last accounting total $13,000.
The item not reflected in the last accounting is the sum of $800 taken from NY 694-S* safe deposit box by CG 5824~-S* during the perlod in February when NY 694-S* Was in Miami. CG 5824-S*, on instructions from GUS HALL, had taken this money to defray some of the expenses of the funeral of ELIZABETH FLYNN's sister. Inasmuch as NY 694-S* was in Miami when the last accounting of moneytas submitted this item was not included in the report.
It should be noted that $3,000 given by NY 694~-S# in March to IRVING POTASH for the purpose of providing part of the bail money for GUS HALL and BENJAMIN DAVIS was returned to the informant, bonds having been used for the said bail.
The following are the answers to the specific questions asked by the Bureau in reflet as obtained by NY 694-S%;
1, Must he account for these Funds to the CPUSA?
No. ; 2, Whether or not the CPUSA makes any record | of the amount received by informant from ! the CP of the Soviet Union. i | Not to the informant's knowledge, although CG 5824-S* may have a more precise answer.

Whether CPUSA makes any record of the amount released by informants to the CPUSA,
Not to his knowledge and it is very doubtful that they do,
Whether or not the Soviets advise any other member of the CPUSA of the amount of money provided. to the informants for the CPUSA from the CPSU.
None to the informant's knowledge. He is convinced that they do not in fact.
Are the informants the only individuals who know the amount maintained by them at all times?
Yes Who authorizes the use of the funds?
GUS HALL, although instances arise whereby such individuals as IRVING POTASH will ask for certain sums of money on the authority of HALL without any knowledge on the part of the person making the request that a special fund is maintained. HALL is the only one who is supposed to know about the fund. As to what such individuals as IRVING POTASH may presume is problematic.
As to whom do informants account as regards to these funds as they pertain to question #6.
CG 5824-S*%,
NY 694-S* does not specifically call to the attention of GUS HALL such requests assuming that HALL knows all about them.

T DIRECTOR, FBI (100~428091) DATE: 3/21/62 FROM : SAC, CHICAGO (134-46, Sub ΒΕ) SUBJECT: SOLO |
The Bureau will note that the inspection report of Inspector JAMES T. HAVERTY dated 2/24/62 contained 2 suggestion memorandum concerning the handling of information obtained from the various Solo missions. The Bureau will note that CG 5824-5% is one of the most outstanding informants utilized by the Bureau in the security field and that he supplies top level information both internationally and nationally on the Communist movement on a day~to-day basis in volume.
The memorandum further notes that to date CG 5324-S% has accomplished ten Solo missions which are considered to be the most outstanding facet of the accomplishments of this informant. Further, that information acquired from such wissions has proven to be of unusual intelligence value and the information has been promptly disseminated by the Buresu to the White House, the Secretary of State, The attorney General, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, etc. ., The comment was made that duc to the timely nature oi the ; iniormation, it is mandatory the Bureau disserninnte the it information at the earlicst possible monent. Zo,
The observation was further mode that when the informant returns from Solo micsions he possesses great volucsies | o£ information dealing with many persone, topice and countries, since the inrormiant is not ahle to meke many notes, and in ;
some cases has no notes, it is necessary for the arent handling this operation to do considerable research in Chicago tiles to: ! LiLL Out full details ov previously reported iniormation on persons, places and situations. Continuing, the observation > is made that the unusual intelligence value of the information ,
supplicd by the informant makes it incumbent upon the handling: — agent to oxplore thorourhly each item of iniformition, evalute the’the information and query the iniormant to assure that “every detail is fully developed in order trat the Bureau and the recipient top government officials can. pugoverly assess the

‘The suggestion memorandum notes that ‘an analysis: of the handling and debriefing of the informant had been made and recommended that certain changes in procedure be accomplished in order to facilitate the objectives’ above enumerated, = ςς -᾿ ΣΝ |
Anong these suggestions was that the Chicago Office with Bureau authority and clearance set up ἃ special
Solo. indices broken down not only by nates but. by topics
ye Iwhich would be a further tool in Alding the agent in locating a J meri in the most expeditious manner possible,
t
{
As the Bureau is avare, the Solo néteriais reflect
jin the wain information concerning individuals throughout the
United States and the world which Chicago furnishes ndexing | to the Bureau files, but since it does not pertain to Chicago. activity such names are not indexed to the general indices of the Chicago Office. The result is that when it ‘becones necessary for the agent handling the Solo material to locate previous information on the same person or.on the same subject matter he mist thumb through the extensive Solo files until
he locates previously furnished information. Since the sole purpose for indexing is to facilitate the handling of the Solo operation, it is, therefore, not recommended that indexing be made to the general indices of the Chicago Office.
_ It is, therefore, the recommendation of the Chicago
_. Office that the Bureau authorize Chicago to-prepare a separate .
S010 indices to bé'aaintained in the Chicago Office in a
securely locked cabinet maintained in the office. of the supervisor having over-al) responsibliity for 8010 waterial, No suggestion is being made for the maintenance or indexing’ of these materials to the general indices files of the. Chicago Office, .
It is recommended that Chicago be permitted to — maintain this indices with the following breakdowns:
1, That Chicago be permitted to maintain a name indices maintained in the same fashion as are our general indices cards,
0G 134-46, Sub Β΄
2. That an unknown. subject indices for the Solo: mission alone be prepared and based upon descriptions only | on these individuals, It is felt that this index will be | justified because the informant frequently returns from abroad with either first naues and descriptions or just descriptions on which cases are opened and investigations conducted, The maintenance of this indices will afford a
ready reference to. all unknown subjects described by this
informant ὁη 811} οἱ his ten, ‘Solo, missions.
3, That an index’ broken down: by topics -the. informants reports 9 on be. prepared and currently waintained,
ΜῈ recommended that the Bureau authorize the . ᾿
maintenance of the above indices which, due to the "need to’ know" restrictions placed on Solo materials by the Bureau, tust necessarily be maintained by Bureau agents. It is
recognized that. the setting up of these indices will require »
a considerable. amount of agent time in the initial stages: - however; once the indices are-brought to date it is believed that it will not involve an undue burden on the responsible agents for this operation and can be done in the: process of regular dictation to the Stenographers who are cleared to handle this operation.

ReBulet, 3/9/62, paragraph 4, wherein the NY and Chicago Offices are requested to advise whether er not the serial numbers of SOLO funds furnished to various individuals for the use of the CPUSA are recorded by the informants. Referenced Bureau letter also reflects that it is felt that such recording is desirable in order to maintain the chain of evidence, and should be done in all instances where feasible and possible,
By reason of the time elethent involved, NY 694-S* has not been able to make the suggested recording of SOLO . money. When GUS HALL requests that money be delivered to him or some designated functionary, he expects the informant to deliver it as soen as the informant can obtain it from his safe | _ deposit box. Recently HALL severely reprimanded NY 694~S* ΝΡ pecause four or five hours had elapsed between the time when a HALL requested money and the time when it was delivered.
As the Bureau is aware, for one person to record from ( several thousands of dollars in $20 bills the type of currency, μεἢ: serial numbers, series numbers, date, and denomination is a time [ consuming operation. On occasion, the informant is called upon to deliver as much as $5000 or $10,000 to HALL or some other CP functionary. (LT)
πον An additional problem to date in this regard is the ({, fact that the informant has no place where he can do such re~ ΓΝ cording with complete security. By reason of his family be. situation, he cannot do it at home. His office is not secure ir] 7}

Therefore, Burtan will continue with the Kenya clinic project for the CPUSA, Burtan will leave for Africa in March, 1962, and while en route he wishes to visit the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Hall requests that ‘Burtan be invited as a guest of the Communist Party, Soviet Union (CPSU), and that Burtan be given a “floating visa" to

Memo Baumgardner to Sullivan 1/11/62 points out that Vladimir Barkovsky, Counselor-Advisor of the Soviet Mission to the United Nations and Soviet contact of NY 694~S*, on 1/8/62 furnished informant with $2,100 to be given to Burtan. This money was to cover expenses of a trip Burtan made to Paris, France, in November, 1961, at the request of the Soviets. Soviet officials advised CG 5824-S* while on Solo Mission 10 in Moscow, Russia, that they [14 not keep this meet with Burtan and were no longer interested in him, During the Summer of 1961 Burtan made a trip to Africa where he gathered information concerning the activities of Western labor leaders which was transmitted to ΝΥ 694-S* through a mail drop and this information was later sent to the Russians, In 1934 he was sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment for activity in a counter- feiting operation to obtain money to finance Soviet agents. CIA has been advised previously that Burtan plans to return to Africa.
On 1/8/62 Barkovsky also gave informant an unsigned letter for CPUSA officials. Informant believed this letter to be from Joseph orth, This letter furnished reasons why North should remain in Cuba

ReBulet, 3/28/62, paragraph 3 thereof, recuesting that NY 694-S* explain where he obtained the money that he made avail- able to GUS HALL and BEN DAVIS for bail,
The informant has explained this matter as fellows:
On 3/14/62, the day prior to HALL's and DAVTS! arrest, HALL requested that NY 694-S* procure for him $2000, which the informant later learned, HALL intended to give to GEORGE MEYER, Baltimore #P functionary. Being busy with other matters, NY 694-9 did not go immediately to his safe deposit box for the money, Séme ay hours later, HALL demanded to know why the informant had not de~ aE livered the money as yet, and severely reprimanded NY 694-8" for dl
the delay, stating that when he asked for money he wanted it i immediately, and not when the informant might decide to give it P to him,
a ΝᾺ
στ & Ae τὸ
— oh -
NY 694-S* then went to the safe deposit box and instead of withdrawing only the $2000 demanded by HALL, withdrew $5000. ° in view of HALL's reprimand, the possibility that HALL make { further demand for money within a day or so, and the fact that th: informant did not relish the prospect of running back and forth +¢ the safe deposit box in the bank, NY 694-s% decided to have the
extra money available in anticipation of any emergency demand Ν therefor from HALL.

The informant also noted that when he learned of the radio report of the indictment of HALL and DAVIS, he realized that Ὁ arrest might be imminent, and that he might be approached for ball money. Knowlne the Bureau's interest in tracing Soviet funds to payees, he realized that in that particular instance it would definitely be in the Bureau's interest for him to record the serial numbers on bills which he might transfer to the Party for bail purposes.
The informant, therefore, recorded the serial numbers on the $3000 in $20 bills he had in his possession, which he subsequently gave to IRVING POTASH as bail money for HALL and DAVIS. It is to be noted that this money was returned to the informant by reason of the fact that bail in this case wag furnished in the form of bonds.

Letter to Director NY 100-+134637
Chicago Office has made an excellent case in our opinion for maintaining a special indices. CG 5824~S* makes numerous trips abroad where many individuals are contacted by him, resulting in many communications being submitted on his return, thus making it difficult to locate these communications without a complete review of the file in the absence of a special indices. Therefore, NYO believes that such an index would be valuable to the Chicago Office.
With reference to the NYO, it should be noted that relatively speaking, the trips made by NY 694~S* are of a different nature and not as frequent as the Chicago informants Furthermore, while CG 5824-S* contacts numerous individuals abroad, the contacts made by NY 694-S* are extremely limited. It may be stated, again relatively speaking, NY 694-S* contacts are much more of a covert operation than those of CG 5824.5%,
τὸ has been the experience of the NYO that there have been rare occasions whereby the file had to be reviewed in order to obtain the necessary information in order to intelligently prepare a communication setting out the τοῦδε of information furnished by NY 694-S*, It is felt that the amount of work expended by the agent in those rare instances would not justify the amount of work necessary to prepare and maintain a special index. On the other hand, if the Bureau desires that such an index be maintained for the purpose of uniformity, the NYO has no objection. The only objection would be that it is not felt that NYO should maintain such indices in the office of the supervisor, but rather it should be maintained under the same security as the SOLO files are presently maintained and possibly in the same location. It is hoped, although NYO does not feel any great need for such an indices, that this will not affect the decision of the Bureau with reference to the Chicago Office, as it is felt that Chicago has made an excellent case for their needs.

Ϊ NY 694+8* told ZALTSEV that the funds should be sent,
"We are very much interested in obtaining a copy of the report of Johin.’Rogge (November 1946) presented to the Congress under a title 'Report on Investigation in Europe.' It deals with connections between the pro-German elements in the USA and the Nazi leaders of Germany. In 1951, sevenl copies of report were in the hands of the staff of the DALLY WORKER and you personally.’
Before ZATTSEV departed, NY 694-S* handed the latter a voll of microfilm containing Washington and Oregon newspaper clippings concerning GUS HALL's recent trip to the West Coast.
NY 694-S8* advises that with regard to the message above concerning JOHN ROGGE, “you personally" in the last line refers to HALL, and not to the informant. If NY 694~S* can obtain a copy of the ROGGE report mentioned in the message, the Bureau will be furnished with a copy thereof.

During the inspection of the Chiecro Office in February, 1962, Inspector Haverty made some sugerestions in connection with the handling of the Solo operation as aids to the Acents handling CC 5624-5". Among the sugrpestions was that a special indices be established not only by names but by topics which would aid the Agent in locating material in a hore expeditious manner.
It was also surrested by Inspector Haverty that Chicaro request appropriate Bureau clearance for setting up this indices.
Chicapo by letter 3-21-62 racquested authority to set up and maintain a name indices on Solo in the same fashion as the prenoral indices cards; also, that an unknown subject indices for the Solo mission alone be prepared and based on cascriptions only of these individuals. Chicaro also requested authority to maintain an index brol.cn down by topics on which the informants report. Chicaro stated that no suprpestion vas being made for the maintenance or indexing of these materials to the sencral indices of the Chicago Office.

NOTE ON YELLOW (CONTINUED):
By Bulet 3-29-62 copies of Chicago's letter were sent to New York to determine what method New York used in indexing Solo operations.
N¥let 3-30-62 reveals that the Solo file is not indexed in the New York Office but that information obtained and submitted in the Sole file is channelized to the approprié-a files on a need-to-know basis,
As an investigative aid to the Agent handling the Chicago Solo operation it is felt that a special indices would be most heipful. However, it is felt names obtained during the course of this Solo operation shoulé be indexed to the general indices of the office. Information would still be maintained on a need-to-know basis since the files themselves are maintained under secure conditions under appropriate supervision. While we must maintcin appropriate security for information obtained in the Solo operation this information is worthless if it cannot be found, At the present time when the Chicago Agent needs to locate previously submitted information by the informant he thumbs through the material until he locates the previously furnished information. This practice, of course, is highly undesirable.

On 4/6/62 ASAC Roney of the New York Office telephonically advised that Gus Hall, General Secretary, Communist Party, USA, had just called ΝΥ 694-S* and instructed that an indefinite amount of money from Solo Funds be brought to Hall at 4 p.m. on 4/6/62. The informant stated he would not have time to record the serial numbers of this money inasmuch as he did not know how much money Hall would want but he felt it might be several thousand dollars. The inform- ant stated he was waiting in his office for a contact from Valentin Zaitsev, Counselor, Soviet Mission to the United Nations, and in view of this it would be impossible for him to get the serial numbers of the money he plans to give to Hall.
ASAC Roney wanted to know whether New York Agents could assist in taking the serial numbers from the money.
ACTION:
I told Roney that if it could be done with security the Agents of the New York Office could record the serial numbers of the money.
I told him that in the future when the serial numbers of a new batch of money received from the Soviets are first recorded by the New York Office, at that time they should put the money in $1,000 packages and that in the future the recording of serial numbers of money furnished to Hall by the informant would be no problem. ASAC Roney said this would be done. 7

Chicago airtel to the Director dated January 18, 1962, captioned "SOLO; 18-C" with copies to New York,
CG 5824-8", on the occasion of his contact of
March 27, 1962, advised that in his opinion it would be easier to reply to the Bureau's inquiry by referring to
past agreements and discussions which he has had with Party officials relating to the Solo funds transactions, all of which he has reported on inthe past. He stated further, too, that in replying to these questions it would be necessary
to bear in mind that there are a number of funds maintained by the Party for various purposes, Specifically, he noted that a distinction must be made between the ordinary books and records maintained by the Party in relation to its open transactions and which records, to his recollection, are computed by CHARLES DIRBA, A distinction must also be drawn’ between the Solo funds and the funds maintained as a reserve I by ISADORE WOFSY, A further distinction mst be made between the Solo funds and funds in the hands of ALEXANDER TRACHTENBERG, He stated that there may be other funds maintained by other persons of which he has no knowledge but which are unrelated to the Solo funds,
At the same time, informant cautioned that some of the Solo funds from time to time may be channelized by HALL into the hands of some of these people through book- keeping entries which do not specifically refer to Solo funds as the source, Further, he knows that WOFSY from time to time has been the recipient of some Solo funds,
So the informant suggested that in analyzing the complex structure of the funds operation of the Communist Party (CP) as a whole, it must further be kept in mind that the intention of the CP at all times is to evade any tracing of funds in one degree or another but particularly where Solo funds are involved. He cautioned also that the Bureau must know that the CP does not maintain books and records in accordance with common, ordinary accounting practices such as ἃ corporation is required to keep. This is an intentional thing on the part of the Party designed to cover and protect people and the Party itself,

He stated that his reason for prefacing his replies to the questions propounded by the Bureau is because immediately prior to the death of BUGENE DENNIS the informant and DENNIS had a conversation in which it. was decided that GUS HALL must be furnished with knowledge of the Solo operations as it relates to funds from the Soviet Union. (see CGairtel 3/14/60), Continuing, the informant cautioned that in this discussion, which occurred in March, 1960, there was a report furnished to HALL by the informant on natters relating to all of the above circumstances and financial transactions, and he stated that he desired to avoid confusion and possible. misinterpretation. First of all, he recalled that there was a general discussion and report, on the general finances of the CP, USA. Ce Ἵ reference were made to funds available from ALEXANDERAfRACHTENBERG and thelnternational Publishers, whic the ὁ Farty desired to use in confeétion with its everyday work. ee ἘΣ

The informant further recalled that ‘HALL, after hearing this report, indicated that he thereafter expected to take an active part in matters relating to funds. In this regard, he indicated that he desired a system for the control of funds, noting that there had been a laxity in the. | auditing of funds and expressed the desire to create an auditing committee, The informant advised that, this auditing committee vas subsequently set up and the informant was one of the people assigned to this committee, holding the position. of Chairman, The informant, continuing, advised that this auditing committee, to his recollection, has not met within almost a year.

Also, this discussion brought out the need for the raising of additional funds, and it was mentioned that WOFSY was a menber of the Party finance committee, There was some discussion concerning a concentrated drive to obtain donations from Party angels. Further, the informant recalled that at this same meeting, there was an agreement between HALL, DENNIS, and the informant that once every three months these individuals would meet to discuss finances, |
Near the conclusion of this meeting, the informant recalled that all three individuals agreed on the need to work out some bookkeeping methods for funneling of funds received from the Soviet Union into the hands of individuals Such aS WOFSY who maintains funds, and from WOFSY into the Party and into such publications as "The Worker." In this Δ connection, according to the informant, the possibility was
discussed of compiling a list of individuals who would con-
f; sent to permitting themselves to be listed as contributors /d Tot sums of money to the Party,
if
i ts τῳ HALL made several suggest ions, in addition, con-
‘het » pcerning the need for scattering of funds, particularly the Vy reserve funds from Solo into hands of trusted individuals

| A discussion Was also held on the possibility of Ay obtaining funds for the Party as a result of the liquida- vi tion of the Jefferson School of Social Science in which TRACHTENBERG had an interest,
The informant recalled that near the close of
the meeting, a statement was made to HALL by DENNIS that he, HALL, now knows a6 much about the CP, USA's overall financial Situation as do DENNIS and CG 5824-8*, The three individuals: then agreed that the financial matters discussed at this meeting, especially those relating to Solo funds.or other funds recelved from the Soviet Union, would be within the knowledge of the three persons present there,
The informant recalled that subsequent to this briefing of HALL, which in addition indicated that the CP, USA could rely on approximately $200,000 coming from the Soviet Union in 1960, DENNIS died, The informant added that this basic discussion with HALL in March, 1960, continues — rt basis for the operation of funds transactions with regard to Solo, The sole exception to this is that sometime later HALL authorized the informant to include NY 694-S* in ] on knowledge of the fund's operation on a "need-to-know basis.”
In reference to some of the proposals mentioned in this basic agreement, the informant also stated he desired to point out that while elaborate plans were made at this meeting with regard to auditing committees, bookkeeping transactions, fund-raising efforts, etc., some of these plans, to the informant's knowledge, were not carried through, In other cases, for example in regard to actual books and ‘records maintained, the informant has little or no knowledge as to what records are maintained or who maintains them, He added again that the auditing committee has only. functioned to a limited degree and it was his recollection that it has tpt met for many months,
The informant advised ‘and as indicated from the f file that subsequent to, FALL's taking full control of the CP, ;; he has involved hinself “With 3 respect to the Solo funds to ἢ the extent that he is knowledgeable through reports from 1 CG 5824-S#, in round figures, of the amount available in the Ι!

yest, The informant further advised that it is also his recollection that during the initial meeting in March, 1960, HALL, DENNIS, and the informant agreed that hereafter any expenditures of sums received from the Soviet Union would have to be authorized by HALL, DENNIS, and the informant, The sole exception was that if it. was notpossible. because of an-emergency for all three to: concur on the expenditures, then anyone of the three could, without consulting the. others, authorize expenditures up to $1,000, Subsequent
to such authorization, the inforniant recalled ¢hat the agreement was that each of the other tvo would benotified of any amounts taken from these funds, Therefore, according to the informant and in conformance with the agreement, the informant has sought and received the authorization of all funds expended from the Solo reserve funds,

The informant stated that it 15. | || for this reason that he cautiously makes certain that he accounts li for avery expenditure from the Solo funds, even going as far as accounting to HALL for small: withdrawals. for ‘book purchases,
ἰ
The informant stated that his accounting to HALL - covers both the expenditures made by him from the Chicago funds as well as the expenditures he may make from the funds taintained in New York without HALL's knowkedge, He reported that HALL frequently makes requests for funds from NY 694~-9* and in that connection specifically directs as to how and to whom these funds are to be disbursed,
In making these accountings to HALL, the informant furnishes him with no books or records. Fach expenditure the ἢ, informant makes he places on a slip of paper and when he sees ἰ HALL he notes the total amount expended from the funds and

The reverse is true as it regards HALL. However, source stated | that records of expenditures that BALL bas made available have ' been receipts for anonymous contributions to "The Worker,"
In this s Same regard, NY 694~5% does not have to account for these funds because the amounts expended are directly authorized by HALL and the informant has the overall responsibility for keeping HALL advised of the total amount of funds received and expended,

With the above in mind, the informant stated that he would attempt to answer the questions propounded by the ἡ Bureau as follows:
1, .Must he account for funds to the - CP, USA?
The infornant stated that in order to reply accurately and correctly to this question, he would have to be definitive on terminology and stated that if by CP, USA the Bureau means "does some accounting of this
4 fund have to be given to the CP, USA membership, a finance
committee, or to some other Party official other than HALL, " the answer is no. However, if one looks at the workings of the Party as regards to its handling of such ἃ sensitive
thing as the Solo reserve funds and looks to the individuals
who have some general knowledge of the existence of such a
fund, for example FALL, FLYNN, and possibly others, the answer must be yes since there is always a foreseeable possibility that at a given time under certain unforesecable conditions
he asked for, 5o, in light of the narrower terminology, the nformant stated his answer should be yes.
i an item might be raised and a request for an accounting
ἴῃ explaining further the "possibility" that others have specific knowledge that funds are coming from abroad, the informant stated that NY 694°8* from time to time is told to give substantial funds to WOFSY, PHIL BART, the Organizational Secretary of the Party, from time to time gets substantial junds that.emanate from Solo, He added that only logic on their part would at least lead them to the conclusion that these funds must be coming from somewhere other than normal Party channels in this country. Therefore, he concluded — that while these people have no. specific knowledge that these funds are, in fact, coning from the Soviet Union, they could logically deduce that they are, in fact, coming “Erol abroad, and that CG 5824-8* and NY 694=$* may have ἃ key role in these

The informant in reply to this question again stated that the word "CP, USA" must be more narrowly defined ag indicated above, Insofar as. physical records are con- cerned, the informant stated that. he is certain that no physical record of the amount received by the informant from the CP of the Soviet Union is maintained, Again, he referred

The inforuant stated that the only record, to his knowledge, that is maintained is maintained by him only for the uonth in which receipts and disbursements are noted and until such time as he furnishes this information to HALL, After reporting to HALL from the slip of paper which he carries, he then burns this slip of paper in HALL’s presence, At all ‘times however, the informant maintains a final — "Figure as to the. amount in ‘the reserve funds on his pe person, ‘Theréfre, based upon the reports ‘that δὰ 5B24-8F takes to.

Fhe informant stated, however, that he de oextreucly earerul on ail tunds which he tahes from the Solo reserve funds in that he even necounts for the books he purchases when he sends them abroad. In the accountings which the inxormant has given to HALO periodically in the form ox a igure on a piece of paper relative to expenditures, HALL foots at the paner, nods his approval, and then the inform int buens the paper, HALL, on occasions in the past, has questioned snecifie items.

In further explaining the restrictions he has placed on taking funds for his official missions for the CP, USA, both at home and abroad, the informant stated that both he and NY 694-§* have, from the beginning of the Solo operation, operated as successful businessmen who are making substantial contributions to the Party in forn of services, at their own expense. This is why he and: | NY θ04.8} have been successful in penetrating the Communist movement at such high levels. ‘To be specific, while CG 5824-8* feels that he can and has taken limited funds from the Solo reserve for his official missions, the Party has been léd to believe that the brothers are voluntary workers, not on the ‘Barty payroll, making substantial financial contributions over and above these minimum necessary expenses as dedicated, loyal Communists and successful business people who can stand the added financial burden, ᾿
He added that he believes this pretense, which. has some basis in that NY 694-S* at the time he became an ‘informant was a successful businessman, must continue if both he and NY 694-§* are to continue to operate at such high levels in the Party, Also, since he mst render accountings for all money. expended, the: informant feels that should HALL see a large number of items of small or trivial amounts charged for expenses. of either of these informants, he might seriously question whether or not he and NY 694=$* are making a satisfactory contribution to the Communist move- ment, considering their ostensible financial worth,
. In concluding his remarks, the informant stated that he desired to make this lengthy reply to the Bureau's - inquiry because he recognizes that the practices of accouiting and handling of large sums of money in the CP are not in line with what is considered good bookkeeping practice, He Stated, however, that the practices that are followed in connection with the handling of Solo reserve funds have been approved by the Party leadership and-are completely in line with the normal handling of such sensitive funds which the Party possesses, The informant cited a parallel situation currently in existence in the CP in the case of reserve funds maintained by ISADORE WOFSY. He recalled that the Bureau can. go back. _ into his reports for years and will note that WOFSY maintains only slips of paper as his records of amounts received and

expended, While the Party recognizes that this is not totally desirable even in connection with apparatus work, the Party knows that such a situation is necessary and considers it entirely normal. In fact, this practice, when sensitive
| ἊΣ are involved, has been followed in the Party for ‘at least 25 years to source's knowledge.
The informant feels that even a comparison of the naintenance of reserve funds between him and WOFSY is not a good one for the reason that the funds maintained by CG 5824~S* ‘since they come from the Soviet Union, are much more sensitive .and secretive than thoge handled by WOFSY and, therefore, even
ore loose practices are recognized by HALL and others as necessary for the protection of the Party,
The informant stated that he has heen most scrupu- lous in all of his operations in connection with the maintenance of this fund, keeping in mind the interest of the Bureau pri-
ene and secondarily the need to keep the Party happy,
This office recognizes that this. reply letter: is lengthy but in view of the couplex nature of the CP finances and funds and due to the Bureau's: interest in. the funds operations as a whole, ἃ detailed interview and review of past practices was felt to be the only practical wy in which the overall picture could be presented and, therefore, this interview was conducted at length with this informant,

Memorandum
With respect to the questions submitted by the Bureau regarding $30,000.00 in bonds purchased by NY 694-S* with SOLO funds, the NYO has ascertained the following from the informant:
1, These bonds were purchased as a result of 4Οθ HALL's suggestion that it would be well to have availabie negotiable bonds which in an emergency could be utilized as bail bonds. Such bonds would be utilized for bail only in the event that bail money or bonds from other CP sources should be insufficient
‘or not available.
Referenced NY letter reflects that the amount of $176,408.00 in cash and bonds in the informant's safe deposit boxes on 3/22/62, coincided with the amount of SOLO funds which NYO records reflected were currently in the possession of NY 6O4-S*. At the time of the examination of the boxes by the Agents, it did not occur to them to evaluate the bonds at ether than face value, and they consequently counted $30,000.00 in negotiable bonds as equivalent to $30,000.00 in cash.
Subsequently NY 694-S* was questioned with regard to the purchase price of the bonds, and advised that the actual* price paid for the bonds was not $30,000.00, but $27,963.31," waoich created a discrepancy of $2036.69 with respect to the actual ὁ amount of SOLO money accounted for. (i>

After purchasing the bonds with a check on this account, the informant placed the bonds in the gaffe deposit box, the difference of $2036.69 remaining in the account. The NYO is currently auditing all of the monies for which NY 694-S* is a Party depository. The Bureau will be advised of the results of this audit, under the informant's caption (Bufile100-340711), with a copy designated for the SOLO file.
2. & 3. NY 694-S* purchased US Treasury bonds as follows: .
23's of Aug. 163 in denominations of one $10,000 and three $1, 006 ponds; purchased on 1/5/62.

4, The bonds are bearer bonds, but were purchased through the JACK BROOKS account from the Chemical Bank New York Trust Company? ~~ ~~
5. Interest on the bonds is collectible by the owner of the bonds at the time the coupons are presented for payment. NY 694-8* does not intend to clip the coupons to collect the interest-on the bonds when the same is payable, but will let them accumulate until the bonds are sold, He will then clip the coupons and the interest will be placed in the SOLO funds.
ὌΝ
NY 100-134637-Sub A
In the event that NY 694-S*# is ordered by HALL to turn these bonds over to someone else, NY 694-S* will turn the bonds over with the coupons attached and will let the second party collect the interest.
6. Since NY 6944S* is not the owner of these bonds, but merely a depository for the Party, he does not intend to pay taxcs on the interest because that is the Party's responslbility.

NY 65-17696
EVE NEIDELMAN on 3/21/62, deposited 27 $20.00 notes as part of a deposit into the account of "Labor Today", account # 059-597, maintained by her at that branch,
The above $20.00 notes when compared againet the list of money known to have been issued to the Soviets in NY and WFO failed to effect an identification,
When broken down imto Federal Reserve Districts and series, the follcwing resulted:

NY 65-17696

As the above chart reflects, 66.6% of ‘the notes were originally issued by the San Francisco Federal Reserve District (SFFRD) This percentage fits into the continmus picture displayed by the Soviet funds,
One unusual aspect concerning the above is the fact that of the 18 aetes issued by the SFFRD,17 of them had been issued by the FRD branch covering Los Angeles, The 18th was issucd by the Seattle branch,
When the total of 27 $20.00 notes were compared against the index of CP and Soviet-bloc espionage money maintained in captioned case, no patterns of serialization were noted,

Continuous analysis of the index and knowledge acquired from FRD's reveal that it is most unusual for go many notes of any FRD to appear in another FRD, ‘the major portion of all notes circulating in any FRD are normally of that PRD,
Because of this and in conjunction with the developed 66.6% SFFRD pattern, this office feels that the money deposited by NEIDELMAN was not obtained locally in the Detroit area,
Tt is suggested that attempts be made to obtain further deposits made by NEIDELMAN. if future deposits prove to be also of a continuous SFPRD issuance strong suspicions can be held that either the Soviets or someone on the west coast ia financing the operation,
Information concerning comparison against the index is not to be set forth in report form or dissemination memorandum without Bureau authority.

ReCGlet 4/4/62 in captioned matter concerning information furnished by CG 5824-S*.
| This information was obtained by infosmant 2/28/62 from isadore Wofsy who furnished an oral report to informant concerning Communist Party, USA (CPUSA), finances, In making this report Wofsy utilized only small scraps and bits of paper on which he had made certain notations.
a
It is noted on page 7 of referenced letter that the individual known by the code name *Sinrer" possibly may be identical with singer Grace McDonald according to informant.
For the information of both offices, an individual by the name of Grace Lois McDonald is on the Security Index of the —
San Francisco Office, she resides in Santa Clara, California
in the past has contributed heayily to the CPUSA, is ia ter 80's and has never been ἃ singer. Informant possibly is confused in this instance and may have in mind the singer Jeannette McDonald,
nat τ
Informant felt that the code "Enterprise" which was indicated to be the source of some Communist Party (CP) income possibly refers to businesses from which the CPUSA has financial interest or might apply to woney received from CPUSA reserve funds handled by NY 694-S*,
It vould appear that the source of income “Enterprise” relates to the fund controlled by NY 694-5*, The following are examples of this theory:
—
ORIGINAL FILED IN =/
information supplied by Wefsy indicates that "Enterprise* furnished $16,000 in July-Aggust, 1961. It is to be noted that on 7/31/61 ΝῪ 694-35 furnished $16,000 to Wofsy for the CP National Office. Sole funds letter from New Yerk for the month of August, 1961, revealed that informant furnished certain funds to Gus Hall for the CP National Office but these funds were not reported as income by Wofsy.

‘Tats procedure was followed inasmuch as ἀν was deemed essential that the [1018 case agent and Bureau Supervisor of the subject wherein the money was recovered be made aware of the identification of the money recovered, |
a In every instance when a letter of analysis was written, the following statement was set forth in the comanteation:
"Information concerning comarisen against the index Is not to be set forth in report form or dissemination memorandum without Bureau authority,”

fs the Bureau Le aver, numerous analysis letters pearing the above caption and following the same format are set Corthiwekiy in numerous eaplonage and CP cases vhereln the money 18. not of SOLQ interest. ‘The procedure remain the same in all cases,
If, however, we change this procedure and report the results under the SoL0 caption only when it involves SOLO funds and furnish no copies to the field and Ruftie~ wherein the money was recovered, ft is felt that such valugble in- formation will be lost to the Meld case agent and Bureau supervisor of the subject wherein: the money was recovered,
1{ the Bureau directive means that the analysis letter should we submitted under the SOLO caption along with copies to the field office and Bureau case files wherein the money was recovered, 1t is ail felt that confugion would result, |
Ais example would be as follows:
Kansas City, following the Bureau directive, set forth to all field offices in captioned case dated 4/12/50, furnishes MY with money observed in the possession of a CP member in that area, Said money, after being compared against the index, 1 proven to be identical with itoney recovered in the SOLO operation |

Referenced Chicago airtel forwarded to the Bureau a copy of an informant statement related to the request of the CPSU to the CP, USA, concerning the securing of an American film maker to prepare a documentary film on Cuba and noted that GUS HALL had discussed this matter with DOROTHY HEALEY during the latter part of February, 1962,
Chicago has been following the above matter .closely through CG 5824-5*, however, the source has been unable to supply any additional pertinent information, While the source had some hopes of developing additional information during the recent visit of GUS HALL to Chicago and Detroit during the period of April 7-13, 1962, the topic regarding the securing of the services of an American film maker was not brought up by HALL nor was the opportunity present for CG 5824-S* to raise the issue, In this same be regard, CG 5824=-S8* advised that he had, ἃ bye part of March, 1962, been in contact wi h of Los Angeles when this individual had stopped over briefly in Chicago, During conversation with this individual noted that he had heard that DOROTHY:HEALEY had raised the matter of securing the servidéS ofan American film maker 4 with some unidentified people in the Los Angeles area but — that he knew nothing as to the possible success she may | have had in this regard,

During recent inspection of the Chicago Office, the Inspector suggested that Agents contacting CG 5824-S* should be thoroughly conversant with national and international af- fairs on a current basis, and in connection therewith in-
structed the Chicago Office to obtain such books, periodicals,
etc. as τῶν be deemed necessary to this purpose, for the in- formation of and as a readily available reference for the contacting Agents. The Inspector specifically recommended the "New York Times'' be obtained, as there is no comparable newspaper in Chicago providing coverage of the national and international gcene to the same extent as the "Times",
Therefore, Bureau authority is requested for the

On 4/14/62, NY 694-88 furnished the following information to SA ALEXANDER C. BURLINSON:
Pursuant to telephonic arrangements made previously,
ANY 694-S* and his Soviet contact, VALENTINE ALEKSANDROVICH = #4, 4/ WZATISEV., met in the area of the Town “House Restaurant, Queens;—
‘a p.m. on 4/13/62. With ZAITSEV leading the way, and the informant following at a safe distance, they proceeded by subway and on foot to Gonstantine's Restaurant at 1l63rd Street and Hillside Avenue.
(According to NY 694-S*, ZALTSEV is far more security
conscious than was his predecessor, BARKOVSKY. The informant stimates that before entering Constantine's Restaurant, ZAITSEV, with NY 694-S* following him, walked several miles in a circui- tous approach to the restaurant.)

During a period of about an hour while they had dinner at the restaurant, NY 694-S* gave ZAITSEV microfilm containing messages and information from the CPUSA to the Soviets. (This material, concerning which the Bureau previously has been advised, will be described hereinafter) NY 694-S% briefed ZELTSEV generally concerning the nature of the micro~ filmed material, and also about the current situation in the CPUSA.
"ἦς ZALTSEV then furnished to the informant Soviet replies ΝΣ \to several CPUSA_xreque j transmitted to Moscow: © -' ΚΕ regard to GPUSA functionary JACOB - ACHEL, ZAITSEV sdid that it would be permissible for end two weeks ih the Soviet Union. He suggested 6 pick i i isa in Warsaw, Ὅ70 ,.

ΒΕ ZALTSEV told NY 694-S* that the Soviets had furnished ny, [80 reply to the informant's suggestion that they reconsider their yok decision not to invite Dr. VALENTINE GREGORY BURTAN to visit the ‘ Soviet Union before the latter goes to Africa. He said he would
\: | assume that the "issue was dead." '
ZAITSEV expressed considerable disappointment that the records of the late CP leaders ROBERTSMINOR and JAMES--EoRD were not as yet ready to be shipped to the Soviet Union. When NY 694-9" told him that they might be ready for shipment in June, ZAITSEV, showing considerable concern, asked that the informant make a special | , effort to have the records ready for shipment by the middle of May. ' When NY 694-S* asked ZAITSEV how the aforesaid records should be transferred to the Soviets, ZALTSEV replied, "Just wrap them up, put them in a station wagon, leave it somewhere, and we'll pick it up.”
“ ” , " ιν
ΟΠ {there had been an inference that Chinese-Soviet relations had fimproved. ZAITSEV said that he wished such were true, but so
' obtain for the informant an authoritative answer to the question;
NY 100-134637
ZAITSEV then instructed NY 694-S* to be "available" during the next two weeks because it was ZAITSEV's understanding that the second half of the money promised by the CPSU to the CPUSA for the current year would be ready for delivery in the near future,
NY 694~S*, mentioning the subject of Soviet-Chinese relations, told ZAITSEV that by reason of a report that both Chinese and Soviets attended a recent conference in Vienna,
far as he and his "colleagues" knew, there had been no amelioration of Chinese-Soviet relations,
NY 694-S* told ZEITSEV that the state of relations between the Soviets and the Chinese undoubtedly would affect to considerable degree the attendance of delegates from the USA to the peace conference scheduled to be held in Moscow in July. Tne informant said that if, as a matter of fact, there has been an aaelioration of relations, it would be of inestimable value to the GPUSA to know this with respect to inducing delegates from the USA to attend the July peace conference.
ZAITSEV said he appreciated the importance of the CPUSA's knowing the true relationship between the Soviets and the Chinese. He further stated that he would make every effort to
but that he could make no promises in this regard. He repeated that as far as he and his "colleagues" knew, there had been no amelioration of Chinese-Soviet relations.
NY 694-S* then expressed to ZAITSEV his concern that, as a result of an accident in developing his microfilm in Moscow, the Soviets might not receive the messages contained therein. Z4ATTSEV replied, "Never fear that we don't develop the roll properly. We had a special light to guide us." (NY 694=S*, who is familiar with photographic techniques, commented that he was
NY 100-134637
not aware of the use of the light referred to, and suggested that this matter might be of interest to the FBI Laboratory in the event the Laboratory is not familiar with the use of such a light.)
Having completed their discussion at the restaurant, ZAITSEV and NY 694-S* agreed to meet again within the next few weeks. They separated outside the restaurant, each going his own way.
The microfilmed material given by NY 694-s* to mie ZALTSEV for transmittal to the Soviets included the following, concerning which the Bureau previously has been advised:
